Hidden visuals setting data

[LortT]

Hello every one,

I create a custom visual and consult code from sampleBarChart in this link github.
https://github.com/microsoft/PowerBI-visuals-sampleBarChart/tree/condFormat/Tutorial
And I have a problem: I created a setting to be able to store my persist data. Let's say it is General View. I want it to not show up on the screen and work normally. But when I hide it, I can't get data from it anymore. How should I do it?

Hi @LortT,

When you say 'hide,' do you mean remove/comment out as per your screenshot? If so, this will not populate the formatting model and will be inaccessible, as you have experienced.

If you are using powerbi-visuals-utils-formattingmodel to manage your formatting model, you can add and set the visible property of your settings class that represents the CompositeCard to false (while the rest of your code isn't available in OP, I would assume that your GeneralViewCardSettings class extends CompositeCard). By setting the visibility, your model is still processed as intended (and the property is therefore available for persistence/retrieval).

Regards,

Daniel

Hi @LortT,

Thanks for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.

Can you please provide some more details on what visual you were using? To address your issue of persisted data being inaccessible when hidden in a custom Power BI visual, it's important to understand how Power BI's properties and persistence mechanisms work.

Thank you.
